That's sort of what he expected the answer to be, but he's hardly comfortable enough in Thedas to take anything for granted. Maybe it's some kind of magical shit, or something else horrifyingly primitive by space age standards.

"I'll keep that in mind," he says of both options, "thanks. I doubt I'll need it anytime soon, though."

Insomnia is a problem for the near future, but worry and adrenaline are about the only things keeping him conscious at present.

Athessa nods, rather absently. She is listening to what he says, but more passively than in other conversations. Rather than making eye contact and being actively in the moment, what he says just sort of filters through everything else and files itself away automatically while she watches the goings-on in the infirmary.

Gently, with her good hand, she pats his shoulder. "Lemme know if I can get ya anything, yeah? And if you need a healer without all—" A fluttering gesture with her fingers. "—This. You should see Derrica. She'll understand."

(The last time she stood here, in the infirmary, waiting, was when Derrica had been the one subjected to torture.)

Then Athessa takes a deep breath, albeit shaky, and she pats him once more before removing herself to be tended to.
